Bandera de Puerto Rico

/Sounds like 'goo-feh-AN-doh'/

Goofing around, clowning, or just having a good time without being serious in Puerto Rico. Gufeando comes from the English 'goofing' and captures that playful, zero-stakes energy of messing around with friends. Nothing productive is happening, and that's entirely the point.

Example

"Estábamos gufeando en la playa toda la tarde. → "We were goofing off at the beach all afternoon."

"Deja de gufeando y ponte serio. → "Stop clowning around and get serious."
